Buying herbs at the supermarket is good and all, but if you have a garden or even a tiny terrace, nothing beats growing them at home. Other than the benefit of having all these lovely greens in front of you, you also get to have fresh herbs at all times to add to your food and drinks. How DIY of you! So what herbs are easy and fun to grow at home, then? Here are three.

Rosemary

Rosemary is first on the list because the highly biased writer of this article thinks its odor is just to-die-for. But other than that, it’s great to use in soup, sauce, and salad (or any other food that starts with an S, for that matter). Rosemary likes direct sunlight, so make sure you give it six to eight hours of it a day, and it also needs well-drained soil.

Basil

Basil is a super useful herb to grow at home. It smells amazing and can take every pasta, pizza, or tomato sauce to the next level. Much like rosemary, basil likes a lot of sunlight (about six hours a day). It can grow perfect both in your garden or inside the house.

Mint

Mint is truly one of the easiest herbs you can grow at home, and there are so many varieties to choose from! We all know spearmint and peppermint, but did you know there are also chocolate mint and pineapple mint? Just think of all the amazing tea you’ll be making. Mint plants can be grown both out in the garden and indoors, as long as you give them enough direct sunlight.
